[NEED HELP PLEASE READ!] Help with plugin/coding

Hello everyone. Please help me. I did all of the coding and everything but a problem still consists.

When I type the command in (/mod) then it still says unknown command.

Here is the coding ( trademark on it so DONT STEAL):

package me.LegendaryMacros.LegendaryMacros;

import java.util.logging.Logger;

import org.bukkit.command.Command;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;

public class LegendaryMacros extends JavaPlugin {

public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String label, String[] args){
if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("mod")){
if (sender instanceof Player){
Player[] onlinePlayers = getServer().getOnlinePlayers();
for( Player player : onlinePlayers ){
player.sendMessage("Your message goes here!");
}
}
}
returnfalse;
}

Logger log;

public void onEnable(){
log = this.getLogger();
log.info("Your message in console when enabling");
}

public void onDisable(){
log = this.getLogger();
log.info("Your message in console when disabling");
}
}

 

Code:

log.info("Your message in console when enabling");
log.info("Your message in console when enabling");
player.sendMessage("Your message goes here!");
package me.LegendaryMacros.LegendaryMacros;
public class LegendaryMacros extends JavaPlugin {

I get the strangest feeling this isn't your code, or trademarked. But for the sake of learning...

You need to create a plugin.yml for your plugin, and include the vital information for it such as "author", "version", the startup, the commands you actually have... etc.

 

This is mine... I made it....

I have a plugin.yml.

My plugin works fine it's just when I type /mod it doesn't work and I don't get what to put.

 

well lets see your plugin.yml then

also, we would need more than just "an error! help!"

 

name: LegendaryMacros
main: me.LegendaryMacros.LegendaryMacros.LegendaryMacros
description: This is a macro plugin.
version: 0.1

 

youre missing commands.

lookie: http://wiki.bukkit.org/Plugin_YAML about halfway down

 

? I am confused. Because it works for my other plugins but then again there isn't a command?

...

 

you have to register your commands in your plugin.yml.

you said you tried to use /mod and it says unknown command? cuz you didnt register it in plugin.yml

do this

Code:

commands:
  mod:
    description: "description here"
    permission: "permission here"
    usage: "syntax of how to use your command, such as /<command> <parameter1> <parameter2>"

all of those child nodes (description, permission, and usage) are all optional. i think if you just wanted to register the command, you'd do

Code:

command:
  mod: {}

though typically you should always include description and usage, for obvious reasons

 

So, I just add it in the plugin.yml?

 

Actually a part of the code is made by me. And I've given him permission to use it and trademark it. So don't complain.

 

@Micro5
@Highace2
@AmberK
I hate to be that guy... But Mirco isn't nor doesn't need to trademark anything. For the code displayed is the most basic coding concept. Unless the coder steals declaration names from other plugins or EXACT copy of format you cannot trademark this. Simply because the same exact code can be found in 99% of plugins and on the Bukkit wiki under "General Plugin Example"

And for the plugin.yml do this:

Code:

name: LegendaryMacros
version: 1.0
author: Micro5
main: me.LegendaryMacros.LegendaryMacros.LegendaryMacros
commands:
  mod:
    description: mod command

Other values can be added to the command later.

 

Thanks for the help.

I fixed it up but there is still a issue.

 

@Micro5
What's that?

 

@Orcem12
Everything is fine. I can now do /mod in game.

The only problem is, I added /smod ( for another macro ) and then when I do it in the plugin.yml I put this.

name: LegendaryMacros
main: me.LegendaryMacros.LegendaryMacros.LegendaryMacros
version: 0.1
commands:
mod:
description: Plugin for macros.
usage: /mod
smod:
description: Plugin for macros to make playing easier.
usage: /smod

it says that everything is ok but then when I put it in my plugins folder and reload the server it says it isn't in the plugins. It also says : well here you go :

the code is now:

I wasn't complaining. Merely commenting that he didn't make 100% of it. Also, it's not like I just was like "oh you didn't make this, screw off". I still tried to help

Micro5 make sure you are spacing things out correctly. the plugin.yml uses a two-space hierarchy, so it needs to look like this:

Code:

commands:
  cmdname:
    description: derp
    usage: /cmdname

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

But what is I have more than one command?

 

Then the format would then be as follows:

Code:

commands:
  cmd1:
    description:
    usage:
  cmd2:
    description:
    usage:

 

Code:yaml

 
commands:
  mod:
    description: derp
  smod:
    description: derp

 

Is the coding for what I had ok ?

package me.LegendaryMacros.LegendaryMacros;

import java.util.logging.Logger;

import org.bukkit.command.Command;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;

public class LegendaryMacros extends JavaPlugin {

public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String label, String[] args){
if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("mod")){
if (sender instanceof Player){
Player[] onlinePlayers = getServer().getOnlinePlayers();
for( Player player : onlinePlayers ){
player.sendMessage("/g &6Need help? Message me. I can place &3Water, &4Lava, &cFire &6and set &3warps!");
}
}
}
if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("smod")){
if (sender instanceof Player){
Player[] onlinePlayers1 = getServer().getOnlinePlayers();
for( Player player : onlinePlayers1 ){
player.sendMessage("testetistestinets");
}
}
}
returnfalse;
}


Logger log;

public void onEnable(){
log = this.getLogger();
log.info("Your message in console when enabling");
}

public void onDisable(){
log = this.getLogger();
log.info("Your message in console when disabling");
}
}

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

why is returnfalse; al one word? That needs to be return false, also put your onEnalbe, and onDisable methods at the top oh, and you need to add return true after you are done with mod and smod.
sides that.. good .

 

Well except for this:

Code:

returnfalse;

Then I think your fine.
EDIT: d'oh seems dillyg10 beat me

 

let me try that . one second

So the coding would now be this?

package me.LegendaryMacros.LegendaryMacros;

import java.util.logging.Logger;

import org.bukkit.command.Command;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;

public class LegendaryMacros extends JavaPlugin {

public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String label, String[] args){
if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("mod")){
if (sender instanceof Player){
Player[] onlinePlayers = getServer().getOnlinePlayers();
for( Player player : onlinePlayers ){
player.sendMessage("/g &6Need help? Message me. I can place &3Water, &4Lava, &cFire &6and set &3warps!");
}
return true;
}
}
if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("smod")){
if (sender instanceof Player){
Player[] onlinePlayers1 = getServer().getOnlinePlayers();
for( Player player : onlinePlayers1 ){
player.sendMessage("testing");
}
return true;
}
}
return false;
}


Logger log;

public void onEnable(){
log = this.getLogger();
log.info("Your message in console when enabling");
}

public void onDisable(){
log = this.getLogger();
log.info("Your message in console when disabling");
}
}

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

Yeah, it seems right, though it would be greatly appreciated if you would use the code tags in the future

 

When I put my plugin in, and it loads up it says this in console:

Code:

07:05:03 [SEVERE] Could not load 'plugins/LegendaryMacros.jar' in folder 'plugins'

So here is everything that I used.

Plugin.yml:

name: LegendaryMacros
main: me.LegendaryMacros.LegendaryMacros.LegendaryMacros
version: 0.1
commands:
mod:
description: Plugin for macros.
usage: /mod
smod:
description: Plugin for macros to make playing easier.
usage: /smod

Coding:

Code:

package me.LegendaryMacros.LegendaryMacros;
 
import java.util.logging.Logger;
 
import org.bukkit.command.Command;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
 
public class LegendaryMacros extends JavaPlugin {
 
public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String label, String[] args){
if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("mod")){
if (sender instanceof Player){
Player[] onlinePlayers = getServer().getOnlinePlayers();
for( Player player : onlinePlayers ){
player.sendMessage("/g &6Need help? Message me. I can place &3Water, &4Lava, &cFire &6and set &3warps!");
}
return true;
}
}
if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("smod")){
if (sender instanceof Player){
Player[] onlinePlayers1 = getServer().getOnlinePlayers();
for( Player player : onlinePlayers1 ){
player.sendMessage("testing");
}
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
 
 
Logger log;
 
public void onEnable(){
log = this.getLogger();
log.info("Your message in console when enabling");
}
 
public void onDisable(){
log = this.getLogger();
log.info("Your message in console when disabling");
}
}

 

Can you post the rest of the error that was in the console?

Seems there is a problem in your plugin.yml... Can you post anything after (and including) the "command:" attribute?
